Thompson Central Park New York kicked off its US Open programming with an invite-only Opening Serve celebration and late-night after-party in partnership with Baileys and Epic Worldwide. Bringing together guests across hospitality, fashion, sports and entertainment, the evening marked the start of the hotel’s second year as an off-court destination during the tournament.

Set in the heart of Midtown, the celebration introduced Thompson Central Park’s US Open takeover, which brings match-day energy beyond the courts through tennis-inspired programming, cocktails, dining and lifestyle experiences. Guests gathered for the opening celebration before continuing into the night for an after-party, setting the tone for the weeks ahead as the hotel transforms into a clubhouse for players, fans and visitors experiencing the Open throughout New York City.
